Prediction:

Rocky will push Talia Shire into the center of the ring in a wheel chair.

How does Rocky Balboa, who made so much money boxing , become "poverty-stricken" after all these years?
Did he invest in Sylvester Stallone movies?
Seriously, the first Rocky was a very good film, and the sequels progressively got slicker and emptier as Stallone found the right formula for commercial success. Too bad, because there was SO much to like in the first one.

What about Rambo IV? Would make more sense now.

Maybe. In Rambo III he fought with the mujahidin. In Rambo IV he can go back and fight against them.

Dont you remember? When Rocky went to Russia, his brother in law left power of atornay to his crooked lawyer, who liquidated his property in a real estate scam of sorts, and lost it all, which led us to Rocky V.

I am under the impression that not only is Rocky broke and needs a few fights, but so is Stallone...broke, and needs a comback...especially after GET CARTER.

Hollywood never overestimates the intelligence of the American people. A 60-year-old "Rocky" fighting the heavyweight champion? Sure, why not?

Next we'll see John Travolta revive the role of Vinnie Barbarino in "Welcome Back Kotter." In 2006, Vinnie and the Sweathogs are still mixing it up in Kotter's classroom. In the first episode, Vinnie gets dentures and worries about his ability to get a date. Meanwhile, Mr. Kotter and his wife go to the Social Security office to get the paperwork started on his retirement. The Sweathogs show up unexpectedly to try to convince the Social Security people that "Mr. Kotter" is not old enough to retire and that he should keep on teaching because the Sweathogs really, really need him.

See, I could be a Hollywood writer. It's that simple.

Let's see. Rocky is now 78 years old. But he cannot resist getting in the ring against the 6'8" Muslim World Boxing Champion. At first, the fight looks like it over when Rocky's dentures fly across the ring. But somewhere, deep down inside, Rocky finds a reservoir of . . .

ARGHHHHHHH.

The first was GREAT...the second was OK. After that it was a parody of itself... ...YO, Adrian

"I am under the impression that not only is Rocky broke and needs a few fights,"

Is Rocky going to fight Willie Nelson?

Now aged 60, after a lifetime of fighting, Rocky must face his most fearsome opponent yet ... incontinence.

I liked the first and third Rocky movies...loved Mr. T in Rocky III. A 60-year old Stallone in the ring...don't think that will fly.

Yeah, but is anyone else impressed at the condition that 60 year-old guy is in?!
